Boston Bruins vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction

The Boston Bruins should get the benefit of the doubt at home, and they’re the better team overall, but they’ve had some hiccups on their home ice this season, and recently their offense fell off a cliff out of nowhere. The Detroit Red Wings have not only been able to find some decent wins lately, but their losses are becoming more competitive. The Red Wings are a live dog, given their current form. A chance to make more than 1.5 times our money. I’ll take a shot with the Red Wings.
